211 yards rushing, 296 passing, and post game presser along these lines.
"We had to many guys freelancing, and ME's that have to and will be corrected. It is my responsibility, and we have to do better. All of us, coaches players, etc."
Coach, aren't guys supposed to somewhat freelance on D and use their instincts to make plays?
"Well to a degree, but we need guys who will sit in their zone and not move. If you are supposed to blitz, walk up to line stand there for 13 seconds, while the QB changes his protection and blitz right into the slide protect, bc that is what you were coached up to do, blitz off the edge."
Coach, why dont you ever play 17 an 98 on 1st or 2nd down to give you a better pass rush in non obvious pass situations.
"Well, we saw last week, we were getting gashed all day long, so we put Tyriq in for a play, and they ran for 40 yards off his side, so we had to get our bigger players in there 51 and 71, even though they were giving up 20 yarders all game."
Why not play 17,98,5,56,2,26,3,21,37,1,29,52,36 and keep it at that? We rotate 30 guys and 22 has improved some to maybe see the field, but 30,31,34,59 have no business being on the field.
It is the same crap over and over, Defense is played on emotion and will, and when you get guys thinking and just standing around afraid to make a mistake, how in the **** can they be aggressive? It is just painful to watch, plain and simple.
